The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested a socialite Obinna Iyiegbu, aka Obi Cubana. Obi Cubana it was gathered is being questioned at the commission’s headquarters in Abuja. He arrived at the EFCC office around noon on Monday.
Although details of allegations against the Anambra-born hospitality tycoon are still sketchy, a source said that his case borders on alleged money laundering and tax fraud. When contacted, the spokesman of the Commission, Wilson Uwujaren said he was yet to be briefed on the development.
Earlier in the year, Obi Cubana made headlines and trended on social media following a lavish burial ceremony for his late mother in the Southeast state. His meteoric rise to fame has also seen him feature in comedy skits, which has attracted the attention of the Nigerian authorities.
